SUNNYVALE, Calif. – November 3, 2021 – Sonatus, a leading automotive software company that is unlocking the full potential of software-defined vehicles, today announced that the Genesis GV60 is the first production vehicle to integrate the second generation of the Sonatus Digital Dynamics™ Vehicle platform into its E/E architecture. Software is key to modernizing vehicles and helping automakers to meet the rapidly escalating digital demands of mobility. In the GV60, Genesis’ first dedicated EV, Sonatus’ platform helps to support an extensive array of advanced technologies and establishes cloud-connected in-vehicle infrastructure that accelerates the automaker’s journey toward fully software-defined vehicles.
“The GV60 marks the Genesis brand’s exciting journey toward an electrified and software-centric future,” said Hyung Ki Ahn, VP of Electronics Development Group, Hyundai Motor Company. “Sonatus’ Digital Dynamics platform will strengthen our efforts to provide truly differentiated experiences for our customers to interact with Genesis vehicles.”
